Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said limited overs captain, Shahid Afridi, has violated the board’s code of conduct with his public comments that hinted at differences with coach Waqar Younis and has asked Afridi for an explanation.
There has been recent speculation that Afridi was unhappy with what he saw as Waqar’s interference in selection. Afridi, on his return from Pakistan’s 3-2 ODI series win over West Indies in the Caribbean, seemed to suggest that when he told reporters in Karachi.
“Although the differences in team management are not such which could not be solved, I feel everyone should do his job and need not interfere in other’s work.”
Though board officials sought to downplay the matter, the PCB said in a release, that “an explanation has been sought from him (Afridi) for the reasons to make such statements publicly.” (UNI)
